I mean, I would probably swing that way for her and I'm straight. <BR/><BR/>She was a bit of a snob too, her friends were all these mysterious kids from other schools because we were just peasants compared to her. Even though she only hung out with the elite, she was the most popular girl at our school. The hallway actually got quiet when she walked by. People were nervous if she was in one of their classes.<BR/><BR/>She also had one of those bodies that made you wonder if she was real, and always seemed tan (Angelina Jolie but better somehow). She had shiney black hair and black eyelashes that didn't need mascara. She also appeared to have built in lipstick. Did I mention she was rich and drove a BMW?<BR/><BR/>ANYWAY. Cut to 2008. I heard she had 4 kids by 4 different guys, moved away to somewhere nobody knows where and never heard from her or about her again. All reunion invites are returned with no forwarding address. I've heard that at last sighting, she was WIDE.<BR/><BR/>Your case in point, I believe.Maddness of Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03593468374316318014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2455477065088022337.post-13935835835966201182008-11-18T14:09:00.000-05:002008-11-18T14:09:00.000-05:00Or maybe, as adults, we are afraid to admit that w...Or maybe, as adults, we are afraid to admit that were were popular in high school? <BR/><BR/>Either way, I'll join your support group, when you get it started.

The kids got to pick from among a selection of former popular babes who should win a date with their dad.<BR/><BR/>One of the possible dates was the most popular girl from my graduating class. Right there on TV. No lie! I couldn't believe.<BR/><BR/>She was always the it girl, from elemenatry school through high school. She dated the most popular boy in school until graduation, who later became the famous quarterback for a major football team. They were the Brad and Jen of our time.<BR/><BR/>So what happens?<BR/><BR/>The kids hate her. No date with their dad. She gets the boot she always deserved.
